LOVE

Love,
A word that makes you
Look back again when mentioned.
It's the oil that protects
relationship
From corrosion.
It's the air that blows back to life
The fading light of togetherness.
Little wonder,
Paul postulates that it never fails.
That's why it persists when THE
OTHER is erring.
It never ceases
Cos it's never stilled.
Its absence means war.
It makes the world go round.
Love
Makes you see farther,
Think deeper and work harder.
Love trills you believe in the mist of
difficulties
And make you proudly say 'I CAN'.
Like elephant's meat,
It's noth predictable,
It might be sweet and even bitter.
Unlike bird of all roses.
Xtains, muslims, boys, girls, married
and unmarried;
Everyone needs it.
